Post-Game Talk: House cafeteria Freedom Fries vs La Banquise Poutine: 7:37pm

[895]

Caps in Montreal tonight battling for de facto best team in the East after a long layoff.

GDT titles will stop being silly once our winning streak is snapped, which is definitely a possibility tonight.

3-2 Caps.

Price is the best goalie in the world! In 2015. Now get aside, Carey!

 

[ChibiPooky]

Long live silly GDT titles!

Unfortunately, poutine is WAY better than fries.

HNIC on Saturday night showed Holtby's stats on 1 or fewer days rest and 2 or more days rest. The former showed strong stats and a big SV% numbers. With more rest his SV% was like .880 or something hideous.

After seeing how the Caps have done this season after these long layoffs, I am not excited about tonight.

He did, for "at least six weeks".

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

This team plays much better when the schedule is condensed than when they have rest. Not feeling confident.

 

[hockeykicker]

Orpik didnt make the trip if anyone is interested

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

I have tickets to the game, I will be rocking my Caps jersey

 

[mattyboy]

as a habs fan im predicting a 5-2 Caps win.
Therrien has put Desharnais back on top line with patches and weise.
horrible decision IMO.
and with Ovi who plays so well in MTL worries me with condon.
but, alas, heres to a good game hopefully.

 

[foundhockey]

Ugh, game after a long break. Boys have a test tonight.

 

[Hivemind]

Poutine is gross.

 

[Blades of Steel]

Traitor.

Poutine is delicious. Granted, I live in the homeland of poutine so that might help
I'll be cheering very hard all the way from the upper bowl for the Caps

 

[Devil Dancer]

The only good poutine I've ever had was here in DC at Ardeo. The actual Canadian stuff is just OK. If I'm going to have a big fatty meal it won't be that.

 

[Calicaps]

We have a poutine place that opened up here in Berkeley. But they have about 30 variations and it gets ridiculous quick. Their version of the classic is pretty good tho.

Still... chili-cheese fries are my weakness.

I wanna see the Caps break the habit of being off their game after a lay-off. Tonight would be as good a time as any for that to happen.

 

[ChibiPooky]

According to Kurshudyan, Orpik did indeed make the trip but still won't play.

 

[Privet]

Lets go Caps! Still looking for dat multi-goal game from OV

 

[Jedgi]

Poutine is delicious. Montreal also surprisingly has some really good bagels (although if someone from Montreal saw me saying that was surprising they'd probably be mad).

 

[Sam Spade]

Make it thru the first period tied or down by one goal and we are in for a good game.

But yeah the numbers for Holtby and the Caps after long layoffs don't look good.

 

[PuckBuddy]

Can a mod add a "poutine vs. chili cheese fries vs. disco fries vs. scalloped potatoes" poll please?

 

[Hivemind]

What the hell are disco fries?

Habs could easily win this game in the 1st period by playing fast and potting a couple quick goals. Caps don't play all that well right after a couple days off, let alone the current 4 or 5 day break they're on. Condon is the biggest X factor to that though. Bad/early goal might be enough of a jolt to get the Caps rolling.

 

[PuckBuddy]

New Jersey's version of poutine - chicken gravy and mozzarella on fries.

I guess a poll would include blini with smetana for the Russian contingent?
